Instead Infantino will do his creepiest 'yes master' act with Trump and demonstrate world class ego stroking (which must surely become an Olympic event soon?).

I will actually be angry if Trump doesn't get it, I want the pathetic spectacle of him 'winning' his participation award to be laughed at around the world.Quote:

No, it looks like a half-peeled orange, with some hungry people trying to grab it.Quote:

Foreign tourists could ask the US to get stuffed - and spend their money somewhere more welcoming - like Europe!Quote:

But more trouble brewing with the MAGA base - the simpletons who believed the 'America First' crap. It was always Trump First!
Truly, Madly, Bigly.Quote:

It's almost like the neo-Cons that the like of Gluey despises are going after an oil-rich regime that has an unappealing leader. No sooner is Dick Cheney in his grave that the MAGA crew are wrestling for his oil soaked crown.
Still, the gifted and talented stare at the Orange Man in divine admiration!
Incredible isn't it, imagine what they would have been saying if this had happened under a Obama or Biden Presidency.Quote:

The MAGA movement will probably shed some believers who thought Trump was different and find that he is as imperial as some of his predecessors. Department of War, clues in the title!
Apart from a few dissenters the Republicans in Congress will shrug their shoulders as the "King" yet again assumes powers that they constitutionally hold.
A bunch of billionaires and carpet baggers in stetsons will be licking their lips at the real prize of this special operation/declaration of war. Venezuela has almost four times the oil reserves of the US, who is plundering its own at a rapid rate.

Certainly people like me who believe that Trump is an abomination will add warmonger to all his venality and immorality. You can concurrently believe that Maduro is a disgrace and think this is wrong.
The Trump apologists on here, several having gone deep on things like the the 2nd Iraq War and WMD, will wait for their favourite x feeds and websites to give them supportive talking points before they offer up "original" thoughts of their own. So far it is voting machines and the war on drugs but it is a fast moving environment!
